Downtime notice - Oct. 17, 2017

Well, it's a permanent downtime. After 22 years of service it's time for a final goodbye. Our live production servers will be taken offline on October 17th. The simple fact is that there are plenty of better ways to get the secrets hidden in games and connect with other gamers. There are plenty of Youtube channels and Twitch streams that will show games played at their best, something that plain text and screenshots can't convey. If you want to connect to other gamers outside of those services, there are plenty of Discord servers that offer a direct and engaging community experience.

Please visit our friends at GameFAQs.com or IGN.com for information such as codes, guides, reviews, etc. They're the real deal and have always been respectful and honest about how they operate. Our ghost pages can be found on Archive.org for those times that you'd like to take a look back at how things were.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed content and time managing our community, and especially to you, our dear visitors!

Yeah, I imagine a brand new copy will be near impossible to find, but I've got a few used book shops around here that delve a bit more into the fantasy side of things than the mainstream shops, so there's some hope. If not, it is available for the Kindle on Amazon, so I could just go that route.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous that people still believe most of the old stereotypes about leprosy, but I suppose it's not really all that common (or rather, not commonly discussed). Still pretty silly some of the things people buy into :D.

I love stories that go off the standard story arc, so if this is one of those series, sign me up! I'll try and find the first book and give it a go, hopefully pretty soon. Doing some research on the series, I think I might have stumbled across that certain event you mentioned in the first book. Sounds...interesting...but obviously I didn't want to get too far into spoiler territory without actually reading the book. It certainly seems to have some discussion points, which is great :D.

I've thought about either watching or reading Game of Thrones, but I just don't seem to be all that interested in it. I'll probably give it a try at some point, no doubt, but not as yet.

I've never heard of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, but it sounds interesting. Took a look on Amazon, and there seems to be a few books in the series, so I might give it a go, since literally all I've had to read lately are the Halo books and a few independently published trainwrecks. Would you recommend it?

I'm not sure about disabling images in rep -- I'll look into it, but offhand I'd have to say it most likely won't be possible. In the short term, I'd suggest collapsing the rep tables and keeping tabs on the numbers. Would give you a bit more flexibility, and you could expand it when you see a new comment has been posted. ;)

Lately I haven't had much time to watch anything, so when I do eventually watch something, it's usually reruns of things I've already seen (right now: Futurama and Top Gear). So, at this point, it's safe to say I don't have many outstanding recommendations :D.

The most adventurous thing I've watched lately is Lockdown, a National Geographic documentary series that goes inside American prisons...yeah, absolutely thrilling...:D. As far as new series that focus on one overall plot, rather than a new plot each episode, the ones I've heard the most about are ones like Chuck and Breaking Bad, but I haven't actually watched either of them. You might also look at Sons of Anarchy, or something along those lines, but I've got not genuine input on that, either :D.
